Katungkulan Beach (Marine Base)

"The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach." ~Henry Beston~

My original plan on our road trip after passing through Kaybiang Tunnel is to have our final stop to Patungan Cove for the family outing. But due to privatization of the road going there, we won't able to swim there. We decided to go to Katungkulan Beach which is popularly known as Boracay de Cavite because of its powdery fine whitish sand (not as white compared to Boracay sands that even if it is wet, it remains white). This one turned grayish when wet. It is located in Marine Base Ternate,Cavite.

We spent the whole day of family summer outing here. With entrance fee of P100/person, you can enjoy the beach and nature. 

They have cottages available for only P500. We rent a room with electricfan for P1k for the whole day to secure our belongings. If you want to stay overnight, they charged for different rate which is P1500/room. But honestly, we were not satisfied staying in their filthy room with small bathroom and two double bed. They also allow the beach goers to bring their food without corkage fee. If you happened to not bring any food, don't worry because there are stores around that serves food.

The beach is quite small but i enjoyed and love to walk by the shore with my hubby rather than take swimming because of itchy water due to many jellyfish living there. People would catch them and threw it away on shore so they will enjoy and be safe while on water.. 

I got pity on the jellyfish and realized that we live in a balanced world. People should understand and not be selfish when on the beach because the sea belongs to sea creatures like this jellyfish. Though they are plenty and not good for swiiming, it's not a perfect reason to say that Katungkulan Beach is not a beautiful one.

Just like us, we chose to look on the beautiful side of the beach by taking pictures to the natural beauty of the place than swimming. Others play Volleyball. I hope that visitors who come and soldiers living there should always learn to protect the environment by keeping the surroundings clean.
